placing an element to the right in a linear layout in android

Question

I want to place an image to the right of the view. For that I am tyring to use something like

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
   android:layout_width="fill_parent"
   android:layout_height="fill_parent" >

...some other elements

<LinearLayout
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    >

    <ImageView
        android:id="@+id/imageIcon"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"            
        android:layout_gravity="right"
        android:src="@drawable/image_icon" >
    </ImageView>
</LinearLayout>

...
</RelativeLayout>

The above seems to put the image somewhere in the center. How do I ensure that the image is right aligned regardless of whether we are in portrait or landscape mode?

Thanx!

Answer 1

Following seems to work. Two changes 1. use orientation = vertical as suggested by Zortkun 2. Use wrap_content in layout_width.

<LinearLayout
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:orientation="vertical" >

    <ImageView
        android:id="@+id/settingsIcon"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_gravity="right"
        android:src="@drawable/settings_icon" >
    </ImageView>
</LinearLayout>
